Installation Procedure
- Measure the distance from the headliner to the bottom of the mirror support will be mounted on the windshield.
- Mark this position on the outside of the glass with a wax pencil or crayon. Draw a large diameter circle on the outside of the glass around the mirror support location.
- Clean the inside surface of the glass with paper towels and a domestic scouring cleanser, a glass cleaning solution, or a polishing compound. Rub the glass until the area is completely dry. When the area is dry, clean the area with an alcohol-saturated paper towel in order to remove any traces of scouring powder or glass cleaning solution.
- If the mirror support is new, clean the bonding surface with fine grit sandpaper #320 or #360. If the original mirror support is being used, all traces of factory installed adhesive must be removed prior to reinstallation.
- Wipe the sanded mirror support with a clean paper towel saturated with rubbing alcohol. Allow the support to dry.
- Follow the adhesive kit manufacturer's directions for adhesive application and mirror support preparation before installing the mirror support to the glass.
- Position the mirror support to its premarked position. Use steady pressure and press the support against the glass for 30 seconds.
- After 5 minutes, remove the excess adhesive with an alcohol-moistened towel or a glass cleaning solution.
- Install the inside rearview mirror to the mirror support with the mounting screw.
Tighten: Tighten the rearview mirror mounting screw to 1.2 N.m (11 lb in).
